The Pirate Bay is down – Here are its best alternatives

You are not alone, The Pirate Bay is down for everyone and worse, its dark web domain is also offline for more than a month.

Currently, those visiting The Pirate Bay can see an error message generated by Cloudflare since the site uses its CDN and DDoS protection services. According to the message:

“This page (The Pirate Bay) is currently offline. However, because the site uses Cloudflare’s Always Online™ technology you can continue to surf a snapshot of the site. We will keep checking in the background and, as soon as the site comes back, you will automatically be served the live version.”

According to Is It Down Right Now, a service that keeps eye on websites suffering outages, The Pirate Bay domain has been suffering service disruption throughout the day.

It is still unclear whether The Pirate Bay is suffering DDoS attacks or the outage is caused by other means including technical issues. Previously, The Pirate Bay suffered difficulties when Cogent Communications, a multinational internet service provider based in the United States blocked the new IP-addresses of the site provided by Cloudflare.
